Summary:

The Aztec, who referred to themselves as the "Mexica," are the amazing ancient peoples whose civilization reached its height during the 16th century. The Aztec spoke related languages, shared similar customs, fought wars and formed alliances. Their engineering skills, trade practices, religion, government and social structure made them one of the most advanced societies of their time. In 1519, Spaniard Hernan Cortes arrived with his troops and took control of the entire Aztec empire. Changes to the Aztec society occurred quickly as disease reduced the Indian population and intermarriage blended cultures; however, many descendants of the great Aztec empire still populate Mexico today. Part of the multivolume Indians of North America Video Collection, each featuring the compelling history and culture of a particular Native American tribe.
